Love it.
It is tempered a bit by having a 6s cooldown and it’s only available on leg armor though.
I have it on my light build too, dont get me wrong… I’ll abuse the shit of it… It is just not balanced.
And they arent just getting a grit on every single swing but they also got a perk that was solely made for this and give them a flat 12% dmg increase. So not just being immune to 90% of the thing but also have a 12%dmg increase with 100% uptime.

change light to heavy, fixed.
or at least give it to all
I already knew it was coming. However, that video already proved a point ive been annoyed about is spear can restore stamina too easily, and with the new perk its just over the top. Ive always felt the stamina regen on spear should have an internal cooldown just like ice gauntlet has but the perk itself should either just be downright removed or give less stamina (10-15 max).
Right now the I-frames and amount of fortify you can get is just ridiculous
please stop trying to get dex weapons nerfed please.
Im a rapier/musket player and I can see how broken it is. Come again?
its been nothing but months of complaints about various dex weapons.
from muskets to rapier to now spear.
could we please not. id rather sensible buffs for other dead classis to help counter act the crap people keep bitching about.
The main issue is that rapier was nerfed cause of defensive options and too much stam…now its just everyone has it which is stupid I think
they didnt bump up the damage potential to coax people into the other tree.
it should of been obvious from the start that nerfing a few cooldowns and leaving the blood tree alone would result in it become only an escape stick for everyone.
yes there are ways to make it work but the work required (though fun) isnt worth it outside of duels and very small skrims.
we are going to see where everything falls once 3v3 comes out.
Well, you reap what you sow.
See, after all the outcry, now all DEX have almost-unlimited mobility. Much as the STR have perma-grit and the best overall and most effective combos.
I see nobody on the upcoming wars changing the meta from STR-CC to DEX-Evade.
Nobody, absolutely nobody, will call “everybody roll and i-frame on the A point now”. AoE CC Combo fest will keep going, now they have to take care of not getting stabbed in the face by a spear/rapier.
I don’t understand why you can’t bear the idea of having a counterclass when AGS made everything possible to make heavy bruisers the jack of all trades for every situation, hence the current meta, that’s not apparently changing much.
Not even going to talk about 1v1 or OPR.

Its just all of pvp honestly at this point is stale and feels like AGS can’t balance it properly. Probably wont see anything really worthwhile in PvP change like wars till end of the year imo at the earliest. At that point, people will already have left or waiting for the next big MMO to drop.
war will never change. not because of any specific weapon but because its a massive battle and with soo many people clumped its always going to be about AOE cc or damage
grav well IG, fire balls and pillars.
start adding phalanx, cover, better siege and a much larger map and things like change.
the state of pvp balance might change in 3v3 and 5v5 but thats going to be a little while away. even when 3v3 gets released its going to be months before they decide to balance things and even then its probably going to fail for every other aspect of pvp.
but im calling it. 3v3 is going to be a lot of dex weapons and a healer or paladin build. probably.
I’ve been saying this for a long time and have posted like 10 threads on it. They don’t care. The grit is the single thing that makes the pvp not fun. I dodge most of the attacks and do damage with my void blade and when they start running I blast them with my fire staff abilities… But there needs to be diminishing returns on grit. Or grit needs a complete rework. I can have a level 9 skeleton stagger me but I can’t stagger someone because of grit!!!
What staggers do you think you should be applying with a void blade and a fire staff?
If you want to stagger someone, maybe use a thing that does it.
I use these knowing I won’t stagger. I’ve got all weapons max level and have played with them all extensively. My statement about staggering was an example of how grit is broken.
I have actual skills that apply stagger in my build and I don’t complain about grit.
I’ve rarely seen them negated by grit since they’re mostly used on fleeing mages to slow down their constant fleeing.
You’re calling a thing broken and just hoping we all accept your opinion as fact with no justification. I don’t accept your opinion as fact. Grit isn’t winning fights unless you’re trying to stand someone up and go chest to chest with them.
Anyone doing that who isn’t bad at the game will also have Grit, and in the current meta, nobody should be trying to stand on each others toes and out-dps each other. You’ll just get rooted by some VG or IG dingus who runs up behind you while you’re busy.
I assume you’re trying to out-melee the actual melee guys with your silly void blade like you could when it was a completely broken mess of a weapon. They changed that and you didnt change. Thats a you problem.
This guy literally has BIS equipment + refreshing in almost every slot so you can’t assume he’s like the other 99% of spear users in the game
All the stamina perks just need to go,
Balancing is enough of a mess, we are seeing unlimited dodges for light armor making them effectively untouchable by anyone as well as tanky for example.
300 str, 200 con, or, 340 150 con , great axe/WH, great axe/IG, great axe/blunderbuss
then glass cannon mages also near untouchable as well as musket and rapier.
You won’t be able to heal through all their burst, and most fights revolve around spam dodging.
All dodges should be standardized at 2 dodges, want a 3rd dodge, you go dexterity.
This would make it so we wouldn’t see spam dodge fests and people would actually catch healers and light armor wearers
